Little Legs, Long Run: The Garathon

As a mortgage broker, Gary's used to dealing with big numbers - but 26.2 miles is a whole different story! We love to remind him about his "little legs," but what he may lack in height, he more than makes up for in heart!

Gary is taking on The London Marathon to raise vital funds for No5, an incredible charity providing mental health support to young people. A portion of the funds will also be supporting Alzheimer’s care and research in memory of his mum and dad.

Every donation helps get those little legs across the finish line. We've set a target of £5,000: £1 for every 10 steps towards that finish line. Thank you so much for your support, your laughs, and your generosity!
